Sydney - An Australian man appeared in court on Wednesday accused of stabbing his ex-wife's lover to death, severing his penis and leaving it in her bedside drawer.
Garbor Ziha, 56, allegedly attacked Barry Corbett, 58, after letting himself into the man's apartment and finding him in bed with his former wife Marija Ziha, 54.
New South Wales police told a Sydney court the woman ran screaming from the apartment in her pyjamas with several wounds to her legs.
Responding to an emergency call, police found Corbett dead in the bedroom with multiple stab wounds.
